after replication with compression quotas are wrong

Hello Aki,

Thanks for the tip. I changed postfix configuration so it will not use 
the domain part anymore and added "auth_username_format = %Ln" just in 
case (and reloaded dovecot). So I shouldn't have any more new 
user at domain users but for all the existing users, doveadm replicator 
status still show user at domain clone and on the new server mails are 
still counted twice.

Our userdb and passdb don't have the @domain defined anywhere so I don't 
think it's coming from there.

Is there a local cache that still has a list of those user at domain 
usernames that I could reset or something?

Thanks,

Arnaud
